We're back! After a month off we've tried to make it up to you with a bumper sized episode! This month we're joined by yet another huge player in the UK Soul Scene - Children of Zeus vocalist Tyler Daley, to talk about the group's incredible new album 'Balance', about crafting a record in 2020, his inspirations past and present and the landscape of Neo Soul and Hiphop today.

We're also saluting some of those artists who've refused to play the industry game, instead opting for authenticity over selling themselves short - including our Root artist Bill Withers, Van Hunt and Eddie Chacon. Plus we've also got another classic Roots and Vine investigation, digging deep in to some 'surprising' industry past lives - prepare to have your mind blown!

All this and more music from Anthony Hamilton, Donny Hathaway, Little Simz, Diana Gordon and Frankie Jobling.

Note: This episode was recorded in late June.
